Active clinical trials for "Osteoarthritis, Knee"

The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effects of oxytocin (naturally occurring hormone) given by an intramuscular (IM; into the muscle) injection, has on your parasympathetic nervous system. The parasympathetic nervous system is the part of the involuntary nervous system that is sometimes called the "rest and digest" system; the parasympathetic system conserves energy as it slightly slows the heart rate, increases intestinal and gland activity, and relaxes sphincter muscles in the gastrointestinal tract.

This is a study of participants that will receive an intravenous (IV) infusion of oxytocin (naturally occurring hormone that is made in the brain). In this study healthy volunteers and people with knee arthritis so severe that they may need joint replacement are recruited for a one day study. Each study participant will have an IV catheter placed. After placement of the IV catheter oxytocin will be given by IV infusion. Investigators will perform some tests to evaluate how oxytocin changes perceptions on the skin. Investigators will study a painful perception by placing a probe on the skin and heating it to 113 -117 degrees Fahrenheit (F) for 5 minutes. Each study participant will score any pain that is experienced on a 0 to 10 scale, and most people find that pain rises during the 5 minutes, but remains mild, usually around only 1 or 2 on the 0 to 10 scale. The 5 minute heating temperature will be determined according to the subjects pain rating during the screening visit. The main goal of the study is to determine the effect of oxytocin during and after a fixed rate intravenous infusion on reduction in pain to a sustained heat stimulus in order to generate a model for peripheral analgesia.

to find out the Effectiveness Of Mobilization With Movement And Kinesotaping In The Female Patients Of Knee Osteoarthritis To Improve Pain And Functional Mobility

The goal of this study is to determine if pain in one knee influences loading of the other knee during different types of walking. The main questions it aims to answer are: How does unilateral knee pain affect contralateral knee joint loading during different types of walking? Does movement and loading change at the hips, knees, and ankles during prolonged walking in persons with painful knee osteoarthritis? Participants will: Fill out questionnaires/surveys Complete clinical examinations Walking on a treadmill under different types of walking conditions Receive two knee injections For comparison purposes, researchers will also enroll healthy participants.

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the effects of vapocoolant spray applied during intraarticular knee injections on pain and anxiety compared to injections without any agent application in patients with knee osteoarthritis. The main questions it aims to answer are: • Contrary to popular belief, does coolant spray application really reduce pain? • Does it have an advantage over patients with placebo or no spray at all? After intraarticular knee hyaluronic acid application, patients will be asked to indicate injection-related pain and anxiety levels on a 100mm visual analog scale. Researchers will compare the patient groups who were applied coolant spray, placebo spray and injection without any spray.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease characterised by chronic pain, degradation and loss of articular cartilage, osteophyte formation and varying degrees of synovial inflammation. Today, most of the available conservative treatments provide temporary relief of symptoms but have no effect on the cause and progression of the disease. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) have emerged as a durable and effective conservative treatment option for OA. They are tissue cell-rich concentrates that have demonstrated immunomodulatory activities in several in vitro and in vivo studies, particularly in orthopaedics. Thus, "minimal handling" methods for the intraoperative production of tissue cell-rich concentrates has become a widespread strategy in clinical practice. In particular, bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) and adipose tissue enriched SVF (at-SVF), i.e. the so-called 'orthobiologics', have proven to be cost-effective and promising sources with a high safety profile and positive short-term clinical results. Despite growing evidence on the use of orthobiologics, the different methods of preparation and administration and the lack of meaningful data collection do not allow for a clear understanding of the true efficacy of these treatments, resulting in a lack of patient-specific indications. Although the most common method of administering regenerative Although the most common method of administering regenerative medicinal products is by intra-articular injection, more recently it has been shown that in patients with OA the subchondral bone also undergoes significant pathological changes. Given this evidence, intra-osseous (bone-cartilage interface) injections of biological products may represent a promising approach.

This is a multi-centre single cohort trial of patients undergoing cruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty with the Advance Porous fixed bearing tibial baseplate and compatible femoral, patellar, and bearing components.

This is a Phase 3, Multicenter, 22-Week, double-blind and 30-Week open label Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of X0002 Spray in relief of pain of subjects with Osteoarthritis of the Knee.

The study is a blinded, multicenter, randomized, controlled trial with participants individually randomized to one of two parallel groups: The intervention group: Participants receive one intra articular injection with autologous, microfragmented adipose tissue. The control group: Participants receive one intra articular injection with Saline (placebo). The objective of the study is to investigate if intra-articular injection with autologous, microfragmented adipose tissue prepared using the Lipogems system affects the patient reported outcome in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. The primary endpoint is KOOS4 evaluated at 6 months after the intervention. Secondary endpoints are the KOOS including all five subscales evaluated after 6months, 1 and 2 years.
